Bow Down To: “Pass Out” By Chris Brown

There’s a lot of talk about who currently wears the crown when it comes to male R&B/pop singers. Some, like my good friends at Bark + Bite Blog, feel Usher still owns it, but it’s slipping off of his head fast and will likely land in the lap of 25-year-old crooner-of-the-moment Trey Songz.
I’ll agree that [...]

Bow Down To: National Gavin DeGraw T-Shirt Day

It’s August 15. Are you wearing your Gavin DeGraw t-shirt?
The singer/songwriter instituted a day for his fans to break out their GDG duds to show their love and appreciation for him. But it wasn’t just to feed his ego. A Flikr account was set up for fans to upload their photos and videos with the [...]

//Bow Down To: Fan-Made Cover For Rihanna’s New Album//

The problem with casually lurking on fansite message boards is you never know what information is officially from an insider or just the thoughts and creations of mega-fans.
The same thing can happen when you browse through Flickr for images. A fan-made cover for Lady GaGa’s The Fame: Monster — the re-release of her hit album [...]

//Bow Down To: “Tell Me What Your Name Is” By Ciara//

I’m confused folks. Confused by the wave of hate that follows any mention of Ciara’s latest album Fantasy Ride. The hateration hovers over Ciara threads on message boards like a dark cloud during a storm. It’s enough to make a weak CiCi fan go into hiding.
Sure, sales aren’t exactly stellar at this point. I’ll blame [...]

//Bow Down To: 90’s Girl Group SWV//

I witnessed something last night at the Essence of R&B concert held at Baltimore’s historic Hippodrome Theatre that completely blew my mind: singers got on stage and without distracting pyro, flashy dancers, ass-out costumes, and over-the-top choreography they came out and put on a great show. Like, who does that these days!? Not a lot [...]

//Bow Down To: “Whipping My Hair” By Rihanna//

It’s so hard being a Rihanna stan these days. Not only do we have to constantly defend her against the forces of evil (some Beyonce, Britney Spears, and/or Chris Brown fans), we have to sit by and suffer through the first summer since 2005 with no Rihanna single!!! She blessed us with “Pon de Replay” [...]

//Bow Down To: Beyonce’s Live Singing Ability//

The internet gossip circuit was set on fire this week when Howard Stern played a clip of what was touted as raw soundboard feed from Beyonce’s November appearance on the Today Show concert series. In the clip, Beyonce sounds as if she is struggling vocally to get through her hit “If I Were A Boy.” [...]

//Bow Down To: Willie Taylor Of Day26//

When we decided to do random appreciation posts–which will be known on Neon Limelight as our “Bow Down To” feature–we had no idea what to start with. Should we talk about a song we’ve been listening to over and over? Should we stan openly for a certain pop goddess (as if we don’t enough already!)? What about praising [...]
